The Hyundai Tucson SUV impresses with 288 HP 70 km and an attractive starting price of 20900 £ . Here are all the details at a glance.
The Tucson wears Hyundai's bold new design language with confidence, pairing sharp creases and a sculpted profile with a geometric grille and distinctive LED graphics that stand out at traffic lights. From certain angles the bodywork reads more coupe-SUV than family wagon, yet wheel arches and a high beltline still signal practicality. Up to 19-inch wheels and contrasting roof options add personality without turning it into a fashion statement.
Inside, the Tucson balances modern tech with familiar ergonomics: twin widescreen displays are common on mid and upper trims, while surfaces mix soft-touch plastics and stitched panels for a more premium feel. Controls are laid out logically and visibility is good, although glossy panels can pick up fingerprints fast. Seating is supportive for long drives and optional extras like a panoramic roof or upgraded audio lift the atmosphere.
As a five-seater the Tucson delivers sensible space: a usable boot ranges from around 546 to 620 litres depending on drivetrain, and folding the rear seats expands capacity to well over a car family's needs with up to about 1,750–1,800 litres in practical terms. Rear legroom and headroom suit growing families and regular adults, while roof height and load lip make everyday loading straightforward. Small details such as USB ports, cupholders and practical cubbies reinforce its family-friendly credentials.
Ride quality leans toward comfort rather than sport, with suspension tuned to absorb urban potholes and motorway imperfections without pitching passengers about. Heavier hybrid and plug‑in variants add stability at speed but also a touch more weight over bumps, which most buyers will appreciate for long-distance confidence. Acoustic insulation is competitive for the class, keeping wind and tyre noise in check at cruising speeds.
The Tucson range spans modest efficiency engines to brisk hybrids — from a 136 hp diesel MHEV up through petrol mild-hybrids at 160 hp, a 215 hp full hybrid, and a punchy 252 hp plug-in hybrid that cuts the 0–100 km/h time into the high sevens. Front-wheel drive is standard, with AWD available for traction and towing needs, so buyers can choose a calm commuter or a more eager family SUV. Acceleration and steering favor composed progress and safety over sharp handling, making it an easy car to live with day-to-day.
Fuel figures reflect the variety: mild-hybrids often return between about 5.3 and 6.9 L/100 km, full hybrids around 5.7–6.4 L/100 km, while plug-in hybrids quote electric ranges of roughly 64–70 km and very low combined fuel numbers (WLTP figures can drop to around 1.0–1.3 L/100 km when regularly charged). In everyday use the PHEV is most economical for short commutes if it’s charged regularly, while MHEV and full-hybrid versions suit mixed running with fewer charging demands. Real consumption will depend on driving style, load and whether the PHEV spends most of its time plugged in.
Hyundai outfits the Tucson with a comprehensive suite of driver aids including adaptive cruise, lane keeping, blind‑spot monitoring and automated emergency braking, which together create a relaxed motorway experience. Infotainment typically includes smartphone mirroring (often wireless), navigation, and connected services, with higher trims adding premium audio and larger displays. Over-the-air updates and remote connectivity features are increasingly available, keeping the tech current without a dealer visit.
The Tucson targets buyers seeking a practical, well-equipped compact SUV with a choice of efficient powertrains — from economical mild-hybrids to a family-friendly plug-in that can handle most daily commutes on electricity alone. It appeals to families and commuters who want a comfortable ride, decent boot space and modern connectivity without stepping up to a premium brand. For those prioritising a balanced package of value, comfort and low running costs, the Tucson remains a convincing choice.
